coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 3:15 pm If it came off the die, it would have to be raised like all the other devices. If it is level with the surface or incuse into the coin, then it was added after a strike or is a stain. Or: Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 3:33 pm That is a pretty convincing letter S @shan, but I agree with @coop that it must be something else other than a wildly misplaced OMM. It looks a bit too small to be a dropped letter, so yes it must be just weirdness and pereidolia.

If one looks closely at the mid-point in Abe's jaw, there is a tiny O. Then, there's the starfish on Abe's cheek. Edited by ijn1944 12/20/2021 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 12:22 pm Not an S MM, I rotated coin under light and examined with a 6x loupe and the MM like feature disappears at all positions but the one I used to take the pic! Thank you for the feedback and helping me save time and resources. Report this Post to the Staff
